Biologic Therapies
Some wounds need more than conventional dressings and care. When chronic wounds fail to heal despite standard treatment, or when wounds are particularly complex, biologic therapies offer a powerful solution. At Best Wound Care, our Nurse Practitioners utilize advanced cellular and tissue-based products that actively promote healing by providing the biological building blocks wounds need to repair themselves.
These sophisticated therapies represent the cutting edge of wound care, bringing regenerative medicine directly to patients who need it most.
What are Biologic Therapies?
Biologic therapies—also called cellular and tissue-based products (CTPs)—are advanced wound treatments derived from human tissue that contain living cells, growth factors, proteins, and structural components that actively promote wound healing.
Unlike traditional dressings that simply cover and protect wounds, biologic therapies participate in the healing process. These products essentially give stalled wounds the biological "instructions" and materials they need to resume the healing process.

Types of Biologic Therapies We Use
Best Wound Care utilizes several categories of biologic products, selecting the most appropriate option based on each wound's unique characteristics:
Skin Substitutes and Grafts These advanced products provide a temporary or permanent replacement for damaged skin, offering both coverage and healing factors. Modern skin substitutes contain cells and proteins that integrate with the patient's own tissue, jumpstarting the repair process and providing a foundation for new skin growth.
Collagen Matrices Collagen is the primary structural protein in skin and tissue. Collagen-based biologic products provide a natural framework that guides cell migration and new tissue formation. These matrices support wound contraction and epithelialization—two critical processes in wound closure.
Growth Factor Products These therapies concentrate the proteins and signaling molecules that orchestrate wound healing. Growth factors stimulate cell division, promote blood vessel formation, and accelerate tissue regeneration. They're particularly valuable for wounds where the body's natural healing signals have become depleted or disorganized.
Stem Cell and Cellular Therapies Some of the most advanced biologic products contain stem cells or other specialized cells that can differentiate into the various cell types needed for tissue repair. These products bring regenerative potential directly to the wound site.
When Biologics Therapies Make a Difference
Biologic therapies are powerful tools for wounds that haven't responded to standard care. Our Nurse Practitioners consider these advanced treatments for:
Chronic Non-Healing Wounds Wounds that have stalled despite appropriate conventional treatment may lack the biological factors needed for healing. Biologic therapies replenish these missing components.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers Diabetes impairs the body's natural healing processes. Biologic products can compensate for these deficiencies and promote closure in difficult diabetic wounds.
Venous Leg Ulcers Long-standing venous ulcers often develop a chronic wound environment. Biologic therapies can help "reset" the wound and restart the healing cascade.
Pressure Injuries Deep pressure ulcers affecting muscle and other tissues benefit from biologics that support complex tissue regeneration.
Complex Surgical Wounds Post-surgical wounds with complications or delayed healing may respond to biologic intervention.
Large or Deep Wounds Extensive wounds that would take months to heal through granulation alone can be accelerated with biologic support.
Our Biologics Application Process
Wound Preparation is critical when applying biologics. Biologic therapies work best in clean, well-prepared wounds. Before applying any biologic product, our Nurse Practitioners ensure the wound is optimally prepared:
Thorough Debridement – All non-viable tissue must be removed. Dead tissue and debris prevent biologic products from contacting healthy wound bed tissue and interfere with healing signals.
Infection Control – Active infection must be addressed before applying biologics. We use antimicrobial therapies as needed to create a clean wound environment where biologics can function effectively.
Application by Experienced Nurse Practitioners Our Nurse Practitioners apply biologic products with precision and expertise. The frequency of application varies based on the specific product and the wound's response—some biologics are applied once, others require weekly applications. Your Nurse Practitioner will determine the optimal schedule for your specific situation.
Monitoring and Adjustment After each application, our team carefully monitors the wound's response. We document wound measurements, tissue quality, and healing progress to determine if the therapy is working as expected.
The Advantages of Biologics in Recovery
Biologic therapies are powerful, but they're not magic. For optimal results, they must be part of a complete wound care strategy that addresses all factors affecting healing.
Our Nurse Practitioners integrate biologic products with our other specialized treatments to provide our patients with as many advantages as possible in their recovery.
Active Healing, Not Just Protection – Biologics participate in the healing process rather than passively covering the wound
Addresses Chronic Wound Environment – Helps break the cycle of stalled healing in chronic wounds
Reduces Healing Time – Can significantly accelerate closure compared to conventional treatment alone
Supports Complex Tissue Repair – Provides the biological components needed for multi-layer tissue regeneration
Backed by Science – These products undergo rigorous testing and FDA evaluation
Hope for Difficult Wounds – Offers options when conventional approaches have failed
